Mariner Law is pleased to announce that maritime attorney Adam Deitz will teach “From Dock to Docket: Maritime Injury Law,” a continuing legal education program offered by TRT CLE. The course is designed to help attorneys recognize maritime injury claims and understand how federal maritime law can differ from ordinary state-law personal injury and workers’ compensation systems.
Injuries aboard vessels and on or near navigable waters may be governed by specialized federal statutes and general maritime law. Identifying the correct legal framework at the outset can affect the available claims, defendants, remedies, deadlines, and litigation strategy.
Adam’s course will give personal injury attorneys, workers’ compensation lawyers, and general practitioners a practical introduction to the issues they may encounter when a client is injured aboard a vessel, at a dock or terminal, or while performing maritime work.
Adam Deitz is an admiralty attorney with Mariner Law, PLLC, where his practice focuses on representing injured seamen, commercial fishermen, maritime workers, vessel passengers, and their families. His work includes Jones Act negligence, unseaworthiness, maintenance and cure, vessel negligence, maritime wrongful death, and limitation-of-liability matters.
Adam is also a licensed mariner. That combination of maritime legal practice and firsthand vessel experience gives him a practical perspective on how injuries occur aboard vessels, how vessel operations affect liability, and how maritime claims should be investigated and presented.
By teaching this program through an independent continuing legal education provider, Adam is helping other attorneys identify maritime claims early, protect their clients’ rights, and avoid applying the wrong body of law to a waterfront or vessel-related injury.
The program is intended for personal injury lawyers, workers’ compensation attorneys, and general practitioners who may encounter injuries involving commercial vessels, fishing boats, passenger vessels, docks, terminals, shipyards, or other maritime settings. It is designed as an introductory program, so attorneys do not need prior admiralty-law experience to attend.
Attorneys can review the course details and registration information on the TRT CLE website.
